Hmmmm..

I'm surprised the people who pressure other people know what values/morals are.. So I saw talking to my friend who bosses around some other girl, pressuring is much like bullying. It doesn't really follow the morals or values of most.

Anyway, I asked her if she had morals like really it is NOT necessary to make someone do things for you I mean really you have your own two feet. But she said she did. She went on into yelling at me, like I care.

But a common saying is treat others how you wanna be treated. I guess somewhere inside she must be dying to be pushed around! Gosh, its ridiculous how she doesn't think about anyone but herself. I'd personally say that that saying should be a common value of everyone, but hey not all people wanna be treated the same. BUT alrighty then.

Today.

Today, surprisingly I didn't see anyone being pressured.. well no, thats a lie. I saw two people.

This guy was just walking with his so called friends and they were pushing him to get some girls number. Which hey I mean it's none of my business. But that girl was probably thinking what the f*** is this guy doing. or get away from me you weirdo.

JUST SAYING, most guys are annoying and are just pressuring you to do something stupid. Stay away from them, they're lame and immature. >:(

FUN facts!:D

Did you know that teenagers are faced with the most amount of pressure? No? I thought so.

Is this a fact or opinion? I'm being completely honest, this is pure FACT.. -chacha.com:) A typical teenager is faced with more peer pressure issues then ANY other age of people. And this is pretty obvious. teenagers have school, friends, sports.. and in the middle of it all we're pressured by drugs, sex, and other things.

Well, thats just a little fun fact, or fact if you will. I'm not saying other ages of people don't get pressured. Look around you, I can almost bet someone is being pressured.

OOPS.. description:D

sooo.. after ALL these blogs I realized that I haven't told anyone what peer pressure actually is! Well when I was younger my parents told me peer pressure is when someone forces you to do something. But thats not completely true.

Peer pressure is when someone attempts to persuade you to do something you may not want to do. But then it is your decision to do it or not. so technicaly speaking your not FORCED to do it.

And pressure is in everyday life, whether your a student, teacher, human in general:) because people persuade other people everyday it's a normal thing. but like I said before there is a good and a bad pressure. sorry for not telling you this earlier, shouldaa been my FIRST blog, whooops:)

Almost

so today is May 5, 2010 and I was almost persuaded to ditch my 4TH PERIOD which is the class i do my blogs in. NOT COOL, older people are idiots do they not understand I'm trying to do whats best for me. and fortunately ditching is NOT in my best interest.

Maybe i didn't feel like blogging or something cause i almost didn't come, but I mean it is better to come then to ditch, be marked absent, get a call home, and on top of all that have lunch detention.. DEFINATELY worth coming to class. but I still have lunch detention, but that's OKAY..

Thank god I have a brain of MY OWN and i listen to it, thats what should be happening during peer pressure,so do yourself a favor and think about whats best for YOU and what RIGHT.. it works!:)

"It makes you feel better" NOT!

Anyone can do drugs. you have the 'good' ones and the 'bad' ones. The good ones are like perscribed by a DOCTOR, the bad ones are the ones that are sold to you just for the fun of it. those people are often referred to as street pharmacists. meaning they sell drugs off the street.

drugs arent cool, they don't make life 'better',they don't make you feel better, they're not fun, they could hurt you and your life. just there are so many possiblities as what can happen when you do drugs. DON'T DO IT..

my advice to you would be the walk away and completely forget about that. having second thoughts?.. well don't, cause you just made the RIGHT choice for yourself.

hanging on to your V card:/

so.. obviously for some people your v card is.. well it pretty much means your a virgin as in no sex.. yeah so when i say V card i mean your virginity.

so once you reach a certain age people try to pressure you into getting sexually involved with other person. They say its cool or something,but to be honest with you it is not. DON'T fall for the whole cool fact thing. they can say what they want but all it does is get you nowhere FAST.. personally, abstinence is the best way to go.

Abstinence means no sex before marriage.. probably one of the smartest things you can do, in my opinion though. well yeah so the age is about 13 14 ish, so watch out!

Am I?

A person who pressures someone. Who goes through life, making other people do what I want.

I think of it now, and its just those little things that would be peer pressuring. I wonder if the people I pressure do the same to others. I know for a fact that I'm not one of those people who bully others

I mainly do it as a joke, but I JUST realized that it could potentially hurt someone. Maybe I never thought of how others feel when their pressured, If I put myself in their shoes I would say I don't like it. SO to anyone I've ever pressure i apologize. :)

Soooo...

Today I was completely pressured to ditch class. I TOTALLY ditched too.. which was a mistake because now I have 10 absences, now I might have to appeal my grade. SUCKS!!!

This goes to show that no one is perfect.. I guess sometimes people make mistakes, but then you learn from them. And then you think to yourself, why did I listen to them. Am I one of those people that do whatever people tell me?

NO, I can tell myself when its a wrong decision or not. I guess that choice was choosen because I was pressured.

NOT ANYMORE!

GOOD pressure?

So someone just asked me "is it possible to be under a 'good' pressure?" Well.. I do believe it is. Like when your parents have expectation for you and it puts you under pressure. but its a good pressure because they know the how far you can actually go. Or like when you have a college looking at you, you generally would be under a certain amount of pressure just to get good grades or to do exceptionally well in sports. I honestly think that when people are watching you, you tend to do better then when no one is around.

When i had said yes she said "to bad those 'good pressures' don't happen very often." Well that is not particularly true, it really depends on YOU. and how much you push yourself to do well in school, or anything else for that matter.

Some pressures are good and some pressures are bad, it doesn't take a genius to realize it. peer pressure is bad.... WEEEEEEELLLLLLL besides the ones that have purposeful meanings. but still pressure= BAD:)

Common SENSE..

It's amazing how to this day the NOT so SMART(lazy) students get the 'nerds' to do their homework/classwork. This guy totally just convinced this other guy to do his classwork, he said and i quote "come on you'll be one of the 'cool' kids." so the kid did the work. I'm not to sure if you can call that peer pressure but its pressure of a sort. I bet that kid felt obligated to 'help' that other guy with his work. I mean it's COMMON SENSE to say no and keep working, but hey whatever floats his boat.

I personally think your considered 'cool' when your with your friends and when your comfortable with being who you are and NOT someone your trying to be.

Anyway who does that anymore, it's called the INTERNET, just stating the obvious.

The act of BULLYING

Yesterday I saw the most RIDICULOUS thing happen. I was walking around at lunch and I saw this guy and his three friends. They were pushing him around like he was a toy and they kept calling him a sissy. I mean not that I was trying to ease drop or anything but they were telling him to go and push some guy who was smaller then them. I almost wanted to say have you never heard the phrase pick on someone your own size! and I was thinking to myself "is this child even thinking!"

Anyway, this is exactly what I mean by pure pressure and "wrong crowd". This guy ACTUALLY went and picked on this littler guy, and the only reason he did it was probably because he didn't want to seem like a sissy. And his so called friends have no right to push him around. If he lets them push him to do things like that then its a matter of time before things get worse, and god knows what he will do next. Just saying...

Students tend to come to school to feel safe but when people like that push them around they begin to feel threatened.- my opinion
I could go on but then I would get mad.
Hmmmm... Sometimes I wish teenagers weren't so impulsive(although I am one) I just think it's not right for him to bully some kid. Horrible kids these days;)

Intro to life

My name is Emily Ramonett. I am a student at Tucson High and I am just about to begin my writing career. I am going to make an attempt at blogging everyday day or at least every other day about the pressures of everday life for students, we'll see how it goes.

Everyday students around the world are being pressured into doing drugs, ditching, bullying, fighting and much more. When school starts you choose your friends and generally they're good kids, but sometimes you end up with the "wrong" crowd. Those are the kids that get you in trouble and pressure you into things you don't want to do. And once your in you have a hard time getting out, and there goes your school year, down the drain.
This is my first blog, i'll be back to talk to soon. bye!
